Introduction

1.1

Engineering is inherently interdisciplinary Electrical and Electronic Systems represent a major enabling technology
important to all engineers and scientist

A systems approach to engineering

combines:
a systematic/top-down approach a systemic approach

Systems
A system can be defined as
Any closed volume for which all the inputs and output are known

1.2

Examples include:
an engine management system an automotive system a transportation system an ecosystem

Inputs and outputs will reflect the nature of the system

Electrical and Electronic Systems

1.3

Basic functions include elements concerned with the manipulation of electrical energy Common functions are:
generation transmission of communication control or processing utilisation storage

 An example a power distribution system

 System examples
electrical and electronic systems often fall within a range of categories, such as those responsible for:
power generation and distribution monitoring of some equipment or process control of some equipment or process signal processing communications
